Heading to the temple - wearing Canyon's suit, about to ride in Canyon's car

After the temple

After Joshua's "farewell" in Sacrament - he talked a month early
since he's leaving a month later due to passing the Spanish test over
the phone with the MTC and will only need 2 weeks there

Megan went to Youth Conference in Fillmore, UT -
they had a lot of fun activities like volleyball, swimming,
pioneer activities, etc. at the old state capitol

Stake Youth High Adventure

They did baptisms at the Monticello Temple with the youth -
they took a photo after changing their clothes :)

The youth rafted part of a river in Moab

They biked 17 miles through the Valley of the Gods

Eddie and Joshua got season bike passes at Sundance

Eddie, Joshua, Megan and friends rafted the Provo River

Joshua hiked/climbed to the top of Bridal Veil Falls and saw
graffiti memorializing Uncle Canyon

Fun sleepover at the cabin

Fun at the Stake Picnic at Lions Park in Provo

Fun swing by the Provo River Trail - thanks to Megan
for riding bikes with Zachary there

Getting free doughnuts for good grades, and for knowing a worker there :)

Fun at the Splash Pad in Provo

Emma's a cute little driver now:) We found this car at DI and couldn't resist -
then we had to buy a new battery, but now it works great!

Fun with friends at the park - Megan is so nice to take them!

Zachary enjoys his 4-H classes at Timpanogos (Sports/Imagination, Arts/Filming Movies)
The 4-H group also has fun activities with mentors like going to the Ropes Course, laser tag, bowling, etc.

Emma enjoys swimming and resting at the pool :)

Summer fun with best friends

  Happy Father's Day!

We love Eddie and are grateful for all he does for us!

Eddie wanted to go to the cabin for Father's Day.  We grilled some
yummy steak and chicken there.

School Carnival

Emma, Dominica, and Zachary had fun shooting their rockets

Hula Master!  He tied 1st place in the competition :)

Perfect throw!

Prom 2015

Joshua and Emily are so cute together!  They had a fun day date
rafting down the Provo River in Pop-Pop's old raft with eight people!

Megan with a friend - they had fun riding go-carts
near Salt Lake as a day date with friends.

Eddie was in Ecuador for a week during the Carnival, Prom and Pack Meeting

Pack Meeting with Kites

It stopped raining enough to test the kites they made outside

Dance Recitals

Emma's group danced in a Beauty and the Beast production

They also danced in a Spring Recital soon after

Happy Mother's Day

My kids are wonderful and treated me right for Mother's Day - Megan
did all the posters and decorating and they all made me cute cards.
I love my kids!

We held up these posters for a photo for my mom in Brazil - we love you, Mom! :)

Megan made this in Young Women for me - cute!

4th Grade Performance

Zachary did well reciting a part in the 4th Grade Performance at
his school - they told a bit about Utah history and sang songs.

Trip to Puerto Rico

This is our great view from just outside our hotel room - Eddie had
a paper to discuss at a Conference, and I tagged along with a cheap
airline ticket, thanks to our airline miles.  It was fun to see Puerto Rico,
but too bad the beaches with waves near us were all rocky.

This is the lagoon with a nice calm beach by our hotel.  You
can't really see, but Eddie is reclining on a chair in this photo.

We had nice pools at our hotel, too, one with a swim-up bar

On my birthday we drove to a sandy beach with waves - fun - just really windy!

Just getting ready to get in and bodysurf the bigger waves when they came in.

My birthday dinner - it was at a nice Mexican Restaurant with
yummy avocado salsa that they made in front of us.  My salad
was a bit strange with whole lettuce leaves:)

I had a nice view - a handsome husband and windows that overlooked the lagoon.

Megan and the kids made me this awesome poster and emailed
this photo to me in Puerto Rico - many thanks to Megan and
everyone who watched our kids while we were gone!

Megan made this cute Welcome sign for me, too!

Eddie is at the fort we toured - it was fun to see and explore, but
just really hot and humid there!

We drove through the rainforest area in Puerto Rico - fun to see.

 Happy Graduation, Joshua!

We are very proud of Joshua for graduating with High Honors, and
being ready to serve a mission in Argentina soon, and for getting into
BYU, where he will attend after his mission!!  He has grown up
into an amazing man and we sure love him!!

Joshua forgot to tell us we needed give a baby picture for this projection
on the Jumbo-Tron at graduation to compare with his Senior photo -
he sure has changed a lot since last fall - more handsome even :)

Cute couple :)  We love Emily, too!

Courtney and Milena went on a cruise while we watched Dominica
most of the time.  Emma had a lot of fun with her!

Joshua, Megan, Eddie and a couple more friends had a fun time
on a rafting trip down the Provo River in Pop-Pop's old raft - still works!
